Where a fish will sell for as much as a house

A giant bluefin tuna has fetched 16.3 million yen ($177,000) at a Japanese fish auction – making the 513-pound (233-kilogram) fish the priciest since 2001 when a 440-pound (200 kilogram) tuna was sold for a record 20.2 million yen ($220,000). What does a US$100,000+ fish taste like? Delicious according to a January 2009 article in the Wall Street Journal – which is probably why the species will be extinct in a few decades.
